This paper consists of 11 pages, including a formulae sheet (page 8), three statistical tables
(pages 9 to 11), and the special front page.
Instructions:
(1) This paper consists of two sections.
Section A: Answer all three (3) questions, which together count for 60 marks:
(20 + 20 + 20 ) = 60.
(2) Section B: Answer any two (2) of the three (3) questions. Each question counts
for 20 marks: (2 x 20) = 40.
(3) Once you have completed your answers, submit your answers as a single document
in PDF format using the e-Assessment tool on the myExams portal. It is
preferable for you to type your answers (font: Arial 12) and then convert your
document to PDF for submission. However, if this is impossible, you may write your
answers down and scan them into a PDF file. Please write legibly.
(4) Start with a cover page stating the module code (ECS3706) and your student
number.
(5) This should be followed by your answers to the questions.
(6) There is no need for a table of contents, an introduction, a conclusion, or a list of
references (as was required in your assignments). Simply answer the questions
asked.
(7) Ensure that each question and sub-question is clearly numbered.
(8) While you are not required to cite your sources, this does not mean that you can copy
information from any source. You need to answer the questions in your own words.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action if detected.
(9) Ensure that your PDF document is NOT encrypted to a “secured” mode and that it is
NOT password protected, as these files cannot be marked. Virus-infected files will
also not be marked.
